I agree with cal 20904. Every once in a while i'll pony up for vip (for the spa info not for the forums because i don't really like that aspect of vip) but something like a busted spot should be shared with all. "Because knowing is half the battle!!"
Well, sometimes the info in there is just rumors looking for confirmation, and in this case that thread is "I heard this is it true" about Escape Spa. As of yet it is unconfirmed, just a couple of members relating what they heard from other parties. It seems no one who is a member here has gone their for a visit recently to "confirm" it was busted or not.
Sometimes the thread creator makes it VIP on accident, like forgetting to uncheck the VIP ONLY box on replies to reviews(default is checked). Sometimes the info is meant to be shared with those who contribute more and by making them VIP people just 'lurking' can not see the thread.
